Skeptics with a K

Mike looks at ball lightning, why there is so little evidence of it, and asks whether it exists at all.
The next event for Liverpool Skeptics in the Pub is this evening, but will not be taking place in the regular venue. Instead that will be in the Denbigh Castle on Hackins Hey in central Liverpool.
